Super Dodge Ball: Around the World - History

[prophetik]

bump.

10char.

[Murmeli Walan]

Thanks.

also10char

[Mae]

It should be more like 10 remixes, M I RITE!?!

[Murmeli Walan]

Alright, seven more tracks still up for grabs. If you haven't heard the original soundtrack yet, please do. It's underremixed and underappreciated.

Let's GO GO GO!!!

[prophetik]

my original was on my other computer, which was stolen.

i don't know when i'll get to the mix now. i don't have a recording setup, or a machine capable of running something past fl 3.56.

Shit, man. Sorry to hear that.

[Mae]

Well, I finally decided to make myself useful, and I sent out a PM or two today. Maybe this'll lead to some more tracks being claimed?

Also, don't wait for Walan, Arek, or I to contact you! If you are interested in the project, tell us. Even better, if something sparks your interest, go ahead and start up a WIP, if we have something to listen to from you, we will be more likely to want to have you on the team!

So, let's get out there and start bringing this project home. The main page shows 7 tracks available, but Arek has us believing that a secret remixer is working on one of the tracks...but he won't even tell Walan or I what track it is! So, that means there's really probably 6 available, unless one of the tracks is being duplicated. Which is just fine, as long as they're both nice work.
I sent a PM requesting 1 or 2 tracks to be remixed if the remixer is up for it. The remixer will be revealed later if it is agreed. So, the tracks are getting snatched up now. Grab one while you can!

In other news: sadorf let me hear his latest version of the intro, and it's really sounding good. Keep it up, sadorf!

Happy mixing

Just thought I'd point out that the first few links to the soundtrack are dead. So on the off hand chance a fresh link hasn't been posted in a while...

http://megatwerp.com/akumusnsf/S/Super%20Dodge%20Ball.nsf


... there's the soundtrack.

Nice try Coopy, but I just posted akumu's link about 20 minutes ago. LOL

The tracks are out of order, though. I'll have to go through and see what's what.

[Mae]

The current nsf does not give titles to each track, and they are out of order. (They are neither alphabetical, nor in the order they appear in the game)
So, to clarify a little for any new mixers considering the project, here is a list of the track names, and their corresponding track number on the nsf available here: http://megatwerp.com/akumusnsf/S/Super%20Dodge%20Ball.nsf
Title: 16

All Stars: 6
England: 2
India: 7
Iceland: 3
China: 5
Kenya: 4
Japan: 1
USSR: 8
Shadow: 9/19

VS Play: 11
Bean Ball:10

Credits/Staff Roll: 21
Set-up Team: 18
Loading/start round: 13

[Mae]

Bump!

And, Walan, I don't know what you think, but maybe listing the track titles/numbers in the first post would be helpful if a random musical genius wanders upon the thread, and is intrigued, and wants to know where to start?

[Murmeli Walan]

New update on page 1!

[Murmeli Walan]

I just received a second WIP from chrono26, and he's doing a great job on it.

Only seven more tracks are left open! Come on people, we're on our way!

[Murmeli Walan]

Looks like I typed too soon. The Prophet of Mephisto has not left the project! Only six tracks remain!

In other news: maybe someone besides me and Mae will post here! Here's hoping!

[chrono26]

If you are reading this and you are not part of this project, then PLEASE JOIN! The music from this game is awesome and even if you didnt grow up playing it like some of us did, it's still well worth remixing. so lets go! there's only 6 tracks left! C'mon guys, this isnt a large project by any means, so if just a few people step up to the plate then we could knock this baby out sooner than you can say bean ball! what do you say?

[prophetik]

i'd suggest you talk to some guys like avaris or other people who do a lot of remixing - i'm sure that shaun would want in, he's a good mixer.

[KyleJCrb]

I am posting this in order to move it to the top of the forum thread listing.

[chrono26]

bump. any mixers out there? we got sum good ass music for you to remix. hop on the band wagon

[avaris]

i'd suggest you talk to some guys like avaris or other people who do a lot of remixing - i'm sure that shaun would want in, he's a good mixer.

Why yes...yes I do want in. :-)

I didn't know vgmusic actually had midis of half the tracks. Walan wasn't kidding when he said the game had good music...this is not an april fool's joke!

I'd like to take Team USA, there is a midi for it on vgmusic but it isn't on the list. I would be using mostly synths, the instruments most native to america would be guitar. Would it be cool if I used synths instead?

If Team USA isn't an option I'll take Team China and I def got the instruments for that.

If you need to hear some tunes of mine let me know and I'll PM the coordinators.

[chrono26]

i think USA is actually already finished. but china is open. check page 1. sorry if i'm incorrect

[avaris]

I'll go ahead and take China after thinking about it. I'm already doing some other songs in the same style I would do team USA in. So as long as it's cool with the coordinators I'll sign up for team China.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, Team All-Stars is the same as Team USA.

[Murmeli Walan]

Walan wasn't kidding when he said the game had good music...this is not an april fool's joke!

...did you actually look for and listen to the soundtrack after I made that post in the I'm Out thread? Awesome!

Yes, Team All-Stars (the USA theme) was taken long ago by the talented Andy Jayne, but Team China is still open. Welcome to Around the World.

[avaris]

...did you actually look for and listen to the soundtrack after I made that post in the I'm Out thread? Awesome!

...maybe:mrgreen:

[Sadorf]

hey, check your PMs

wip and stuffs...again...weee


k bye

[Murmeli Walan]

thanks a ton.

remember, five tracks left!

[prophetik]

my last parts for my computer should be here by thursday. then i install xp and all my program files, and unzip the roughly 35 gigs of samples i've got, and then i can really start mixing again. just fyi.

[Murmeli Walan]

Huzzahs all around!

[- Myke -]

Huzzahs all around!

Huzzah indeed

[Murmeli Walan]

Dear Community,

bump.

luv, Walan

[Mae]

Dear Community,

bump.

luv, Walan
You're bumping us all...with love.
Sounds a little dirty.

[avaris]

I got a WIP, I'll PM it to da project leaders.

[Mae]

BUMP!

Avaris, sorry for taking so long. I just now checked my mail account where OCR notifications are sent. As soon as I get home from work & school for the day, I'll download and listen.

I think I speak for myself, Walan, and Arek when I say that all new WIPs are greatly welcomed! =D

I don't know if either of them have gotten back to you yet or not, but again I am sorry for not replying to you before.

[avaris]

Hey it's cool it's a busy time of the year for most people. I have a new wip almost done with the actual instrumentation but there are still a few things I wanna work on before I send it out.

[Murmeli Walan]

Hey, all the project threads moved again. Ha.

Thanks for the WIP. I haven't even listened to your last one yet (limited net usage), but I'll be sure to as soon as I can.

[Chickenwarlord]

If I showed an interest in the Title theme, would the project take me? I know my level of arrangement/mixing prowess is still weak.

[prophetik]

i'll master his song if he does it.

[Murmeli Walan]

I'll have to think about it. At this point, I would welcome you aboard if Prophet helped out/mastered the track.

[Theory of N]

I would love to check out the source tunes for this and maybe audition or something, but I'm having trouble w/ chiptunes. I don'tknow what's wrong with it, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling winamp AND chiptunes and still nothing...

[Theory of N]

This is a nice soundtrack. I'm very surprised at the lack of interest in this project. I'll see if I can whip something up in the next couple days.

[chrono26]

This is a nice soundtrack. I'm very surprised at the lack of interest in this project. I'll see if I can whip something up in the next couple days.

i love you

[Alcino]

Super Dodgeball's soundtrack has been a favorite of mine ever since I first heard it. Even today, it's sitting in my iPod, ready for listening.

I've been waiting (silently) for this compilation for so many months...

If you're still looking for people to give feedback, feel me to send me WIP and/or completed projects at

ndaoust[at]writeme.com

[Chickenwarlord]

I did express interest in this. With Prophet willing to do mastering I suppose I'm in. I'll start making an arrangement now.

[prophetik]

sweet.

i'm going to try to have something a little more solid by the end of the week. key words are 'try' and 'something solid'.

[Chickenwarlord]

Well I've worked on this. The majority of my additions ended up sounding pretty bad, so I scrapped the majority of what I did.
Progress will come slowly.

[Theory of N]

Haha...I've been grounded from my comp until I get a job. Dad wants me to get off my ass and do something. I'm currently at my mom's house writing this on a comp with only FL6demo and all defaults (blech).

As soon as I get a job/computer back, I'll get to work.

[prophetik]

i've been working a lot on this mix. i've got the opening re-constituted from what i had before my computer was taken, and have worked out parts for the rest of the song. it'll be pretty good. i recenly acquired the Virtual Electric Guitarist, Guitar Rig 2.2, and Addictive Drums vsts and have been putting them to good use for this song. the drums especially will be much better than anything i've ever done before, both in terms of samples and sequencing quality.

[prophetik]

who do i send wips to? i've got a wip for kenya that simply needs the sax parts recorded and then it'll be pretty much done. i'm pretty sure its the best fusion track i've ever done, and it's also probably the best drum track i've ever done for a mix.

[Turnip]

track 2 better kick total god damn ass otherwise i will be pissed, :D

[Chickenwarlord]

Prophet, I'd send those to Walan, Mae and Arek as they are coordinating the project.

[Murmeli Walan]

track 2 better kick total god damn ass otherwise i will be pissed, :D

You heard the random unknown poster! If he ends up being pissed, I will have failed myself as a forumgoer...ney, a human being. Let's not disappoint the man/woman (but probably a man).

Prophet, send that wip my way. I haven't heard from Arek in a while regarding the project. Hell if I know if he's still involved or not.

[Mae]

Hmmm...England may soon be claimed. Don't know for sure yet. But if it is, it will be chock-full of awesome goodness!

[prophetik]

i sent the wip to walan a while ago...haven't heard from him.

[Murmeli Walan]

i sent the wip to walan a while ago...haven't heard from him.

sorry...limited net access during the summer keeps me away.

I'll give you some feedback soon, I promise.

[prophetik]

how soon is soon?

[Murmeli Walan]

Ack, sorry again. I've been extremely busy. The next couple days, I promise.

[Mae]

how soon is soon?
Perhaps you can send it my way (I'm still waiting for Walan to send it along, anyway). I'll give it a listen, and when I see Walan online, I can remind him to listen, and we can discuss.

[Mae]

A bump to bring this back up on the forum list.


Also, just checking in to say that GLL and I are still trying to work on something for the England theme.

Lyrics are written (by yours truly...so, they probably suck. Haha). GLL is working with the music, and I'm still trying to provide vocals in a key he likes, lmao.


Anyway, to the rest of you: Keep up the remixing, and for anyone still interested, there are still 4 tracks available:

Title Screen
India
Japan
Ending/Credits

Looks like Akumu's server is down, so the nsfe is currently unavailable. If you want a copy of the nsf files, and don't want to search, send me a PM and I can email you a copy.

Please, any remixers with a WIP, check in from time to time, and let us know we're still working.

[Chickenwarlord]

Ergh. I have a short WIP for the Title Theme. I'll see if we want something along these lines. It's pretty sparse right now.

[Mae]

I'd love to hear it, and I'm sure Walan would like to as well. I wonder if Arek is even still co-co-coordinating this...I haven't seen anything from him in this thread, and I've only talked to him on AIM a few times, once about the project only.

Anyway, go ahead and send anything you have along to Walan and I to have a listen.

[prophetik]

Ergh. I have a short WIP for the Title Theme. I'll see if we want something along these lines. It's pretty sparse right now.

am i doing any mastering for you? or was that a different project?

that said, my kenya mix is totally done. recorded, mastered, done. who do i send it to?

[Chickenwarlord]

Well, you were, once I got the arrangement done. As it is, it's really short, and just minor variations. I kinda forgot about it, and it needs some major work for what we're doing here. I'll contact you when I feel like I'm 80% there.

[Mae]

Great! Go ahead and send it to Walan, and to me as well.

[prophetik]

Well, you were, once I got the arrangement done. As it is, it's really short, and just minor variations. I kinda forgot about it, and it needs some major work for what we're doing here. I'll contact you when I feel like I'm 80% there.

contact me through email if you want me to help out, in ANY capacity =)

[Mae]

Chickenwarlord's mix seemed like it could in fact go somewhere, but at this stage still needs a lot of work.

If you two would be willing to work together, it could turn out great.

[Chickenwarlord]

Yeah, I'm definitely overhauling the sounds of choice and putting in a lot more rearrangement before I send anything off to you Proph.
THe only other project I worked on was for OLR, and I want this to be a lot better than what I put on there.

[prophetik]

fair enough. don't forget i can act as a sounding board for ideas, too. aim is a good way to get in contact with me.

[Mae]

Chickenwarlord, I know what I said probably wasn't very constructive, but I don't know what you're capable of. I didn't mean to discourage you in any way with my reply after hearing your WIP. As soon as you come up with a mix that sounds like it's going somewhere, we'll gladly put you down as the claimer of the track. It doesn't have to be of the entire mix at first. If you just start with an intro, or just a few seconds from what will be the middle, and nail it as well as possible, that'll be a way to convince us. You can change it later as the mix evolves, but we want to hear something that shows you have what it takes first.

I talked to Walan on AIM today, and told him to make sure he listens to your sample as well. I don't know if he's gotten around to it or not yet.

-------

Also, Prophet - you can send your finished Kenya mix to Walan and I at any time. I sent Walan a PM of everything that needs to be updated on the first post, and it would be great to have you put down as "DONE" :) But, we need to hear the finished product before we can put you down as such. Thanks for your efforts, and thanks again for offering to contribute more through helping other mixers.

-----

Additionally, Akumu's archive (which is currently hosting the nsf) is unavailable. I will temporarily be hosting it on my own space in the meantime. Anyone who needs the nsf can get it here (http://mysite.verizon.net/jmaeriggle/SDB_nsf.htm)

Last, but not least: India, Japan, and the Closing Credits are still up for grabs, and as far as I know, nobody has expressed serious interest in them.
Chickenwarlord has expressed interest in the Title Screen, and I hope that he can make it work.

[Murmeli Walan]

Hey, it's me again. I'm updating the tracklist now to include Prophet's finished track (you can send that to me, please) and Team England taken by Ghetto Lee Lewis.

Edit: thanks for rehosting the soundtrack, Mae. Akumu's excellent archive got fucked around with due to some drama over at the Shizz, but he should have it hosted on another site soon.

[Mae]

Team England taken by Ghetto Lee Lewis.
*ahem*
I wrote the lyrics (which will probably be altered - both vocally, and lyrically), and will be singing them, thankyaverymuch. It was his idea to collab with me again, but my idea to do it for this project.

So, more correctly, it should be "Team England taken by Ghetto Lee Lewis and Jennifer Mae" :razz:

[prophetik]

sent to WMotS and MW.

[Mae]

WMotS.
Hmm...I never realized that if you turn my name into an acronym, it's pronounced "Wemots." Maybe I need to change it...again.

[Murmeli Walan]

*ahem*

Take a look at page 1: I think that "Ghetto Lee Lewis feat. Jennifer Mae" is accurate. We can work that out down the road.

Prophet: thanks a million to you, sir.

[Mae]

I was just being a pain about what you said in the post I quoted, not the first one. "Mae" is okay for my name in the first post, as that's not the ID3 tag being sent out. LOL

[Sadorf]

Update!....

If i post saying what i am gonna say, it will make me work harder to finish my track since everyone will be expecting it.

My track should be pretty much completed by friday. By that time, all that should be left is a little bit of mastering and maaaaaybe an edit or 2 depending on the comments by mae and walan......and maybe a few others i will share it with.

SInce there arent really any deadlines, i think you all need to find a different way to get the mixers asses in gear to get their tracks at least close to complete.

That is all for now, think of this as an informative BUMP

cya

[avaris]

Update too, have the basic rhythms all done for the 1st half. Just gotta add in some variations and change up some of the instruments in the 2nd half. I should have a near finished version in the next week or two. After that it's just tweaking based on feedback I get.

[Mae]

Excellent, both of you.

And while update fever is going on, I might as well provide one myself.

Lyrics for GLL and my mix are written. I'm waiting to hear some music from him so I can get to practicing singing the lyrics so they won't sound like any of my BEER mixes from way back when, and so he doesn't have to heavily edit the vocals to make me sound like a computerized voice again.

Unfortunately, I can't say we're almost done like the rest of you...but...umm...we have started?

I'll have to call him and yell at him or something.

[prophetik]

i've got melodyne if that'll help, mae.

[Mae]

Will Melodyne do as much for me as the "voice enhancers deveolped by NASA" did for Bart, Milhouse, Ralph, and Nelson in that one Simpsons episode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Kids_on_the_Blecch) where they became a boy band???


And, see...I want to try to not need any serious fixing to my voice. But if worse comes to worse...you might want to let GLL know about it. Haha.

Though, he was able to use enough effects to turn some pretty s**** vocals into this (http://www.animeremix.org/remix/23/) a couple years ago.

[prophetik]

that's a pretty tight song, mae.

if you want to do it without all the effecting, i'll be available. i'm not much of a trance mastering guru, but i can do normal stuff just fine.

[Sadorf]

i said i would have shit by friday? hahaha

i did have something by then, but only mae has heard it....and she is the only person that will hear that particular demo.

i uhmmm sorta broke my lead synths, which im sure mae was able to hear. i love not saving channel states....really!.......
im working on replacements for them, and when i have everything playing nicely with each other again, i will send off what i have to walan and mae....arek doesnt count as anything, so he aint gettin shit :)

[Mae]

So, I checked my email, and saw the topic reply notification. Even without seeing your name, I knew it was you just by your first line...haha.

I can always look up the log. I think there was in fact something that I noticed that was a little off, but at work where I can't hear it, I don't remember exactly what it was. Yeah, I'll check the chatlog when I get home.

Don't be so mean to Arek. He counts as...umm...as high as 20 with his shoes off!

[avaris]

Done. :)

waiting to hear the new GLL/Mae collab...

[prophetik]

someone DESPERATELY needs to edit the first post.

[Mae]

Prophet...If I had the power...I would.
I've been PMing Walan with what he should update. Heck, have of the messages I send could probably be copied and pasted. *shrug*

avaris, I'm looking forward to hearing it, too...but GLL won't send me music. We have lyrics written already, and I sent him a couple recordings of them (Very crappy, mind you. Not even in tune. Just in 2 different keys so he can pick which one would sound best with the music, and which he thinks I would sound best in), and I need music so that I can practice the lyrics, and so I can get in time. But, he won't send me anything. :( I'm kind of getting worried about the status of our mix, and wondering if it will even happen. I think I pissed him off...

Or I'm just terrible, and he can't admit it.

[Lightbunny]

Oh for chrissakes, here:

[Murmeli Walan]

someone DESPERATELY needs to edit the first post.

Sorry, I haven't had an internet connection in the last three weeks because of problems with my appartment. I'll do my catching up now.

Done. Tell me if I missed anything.

[Sadorf]

wip sent walan....check your shit k

[Sadorf]

so...ive sent another wip to mae and walan....


HOW ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE?

so yeah, if i can do it, so can the rest of you

lets get this shit goin


k bye

[prophetik]

it's really ghetto that this is so close to finishing and we still haven't had anyone claim the last four songs. i think mae and arek and walan need to start proselytizing this project again to various people to see who we can get to help out.

i'm still willing to collab with anyone who'll take a new mix.

[Theory of N]

I'm trying to do something with Team Japan, but it's hard to come up with an arrangement for a folk song you've heard arranged so much. If I do manage to get something, I could use some mastering help/advice. I'm not so good at it.

[prophetik]

i'll help.

[Murmeli Walan]

Hey everyone. No updates yet, but I just wanted to make everyone aware that avaris' China track, "Breakbeat Market", is on the judges panel! Here's hoping they stamp a big 'ol yes on it! Remixers: feel free to submit your completed tracks to the panel (especially you, AkumajoBelmont. :) )

We've got just another four tracks left to claim, we can't flounder on this again. Tell people you know, message remixers, tell everyone that we're as close as we've ever been to completion!

[Murmeli Walan]

And now Prophet of Mephisto's Kenya track is on the judges' panel also! Fingers crossed, everybody!

[Murmeli Walan]

MASSIVE congratulations to avaris, whose Team China track, Breakbeat Market, was approved by the judges' panel, and will be on the OCR front page when the album launches! Nice Work!

[prophetik]

uh, bump. i'm still open to work with anyone who's looking to remix anything.

[chrono26]

how bout a "Chrono vs Prophet" mix for the title screen track?

[Murmeli Walan]

Team Chrono vs. Team Prophet?

AWWWWWWW YEAH!

[prophetik]

hell i don't care, that'd be fine with me. solo battle ftw.

[Theory of N]

Team Chrono vs. Team Prophet?

Reminded me of Team Gato...

[Murmeli Walan]

Reminded me of Team Gato...

hahaha

OLR Bonus Track: Team Chrono vs. Team Prophet vs. Team Gato

hahaha

[Theory of N]

hahaha

OLR Bonus Track: Team Chrono vs. Team Prophet vs. Team Gato

hahaha

That alone would make the project worth downloading.

Also, I just looked at your sig and realized that I need a bar sig that says "I just missed the UnMod Nukage" or something.

[Murmeli Walan]

I may just be the only person left here who still has some sort of UnMod remembrance sig. UnMod was the very first message board I ever posted in, so I still want to keep some reminder of the "good old days" of UnMod, regardless if such a period existed or not there.

But anywho, chrono26 and Prophet have agreed on it, so the Title Screen track is taken. That leaves just three tracks left to be filled!

Also: chrono, sadorf, and GLL/Mae: What's the status on your mixes? Anything new to show from you guys?

And while I'm on this roll: who's excited for the upcoming Super Dodgeball DS sequel? (http://ds.ign.com/articles/828/828747p1.html)

[chrono26]

i havnt really talked to brad about the title track, but if he's down then i am too. and as for my track, i'm working on it right now :-) hopefully i can finish it soon. i should've had it done by now actually...but it's coming.

[Mae]

Last I heard from sadorf he was just about finished with his. He made me rush to school one morning so I could get online and listen to his progress and give feedback. I did, and he never produced anything. So...that's up to him.


As for GLL and myself? Last I heard GLL was still trying to come up with music. He doesn't check email very often, and phone communication is at a halt. His phone has no screen, and no ringer. So I can call - but if I miss him, he won't call back because he doesn't know he has a missed call or who called him. Currently, my phone is out of commission - snapped in half *eek!* I'm waiting for Kyle to send me a used one, and then on Dec. 1st getting a new one with my contract thing for CrapT&T

If GLL and I ever get our mix off the ground, we can also have the MORTAL DODGEBALL!!! bonus OLR track.

[prophetik]

if gll can't get something together i might be persuaded to do electronica again.

[prophetik]

got rejected on my mix. i'm planning on resubbing, though, so i'll post it when it's done again.

[chrono26]

dang brad man, you should've just made the song good in the first place!

just joshin', that song is incredible, what did the judges say?

[Theory of N]

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12261

[Murmeli Walan]

but frankly I never saw what was so great about this OST anyway. Pretty forgettable.

judgehate +852

;)


In all seriousness though, Larry, Andy, and what-his-face make some good points about the mix, and I'm relieved that although you got three no'd, they all think you're very close to passing. I just know you'll nail it next time.

Larry: What can I say? Harmony had some great ideas, and then he disappeared off the face of the Internet.

[prophetik]

he was online the other day for something, i saw a post. i promise.

[Murmeli Walan]

Find him, hunt him down. Use force if necessary. India and Japan are still unclaimed, and if he's up for it, I'd like him to do one of those.

Or I'll just send him a PM sometime. Either way.

[prophetik]

if those two aren't done within a month or two, i'll write something for them. i just want this project to get moving.

btw, i've already redone my mix. i'm fooling a bit with some advanced issues involving TURN YOUR DAMNED MIX DOWN and NOW MAKE IT LOUDER, and as soon as i've got them done i'll be all done.

[prophetik]

thanks to a huge amount of help from zircon, it's back on the panel, and he says that he'll YES it. it sounds pretty pimp too, he mastered a bunch of stuff way cleaner than i ever could have.

who do i send the new link to?

[Murmeli Walan]

PM it to Mae and myself, please.

[Murmeli Walan]

And now that track's been accepted by the panel! Great job!

[avaris]

And now that track's been accepted by the panel! Great job!

Congrats dude!

[prophetik]

fucking about time. too bad my links awakening track got a 'plz resub lulz' again, meaning i've got 14 rejections now through the panel. =)

NEW RECORD!!

[Tensei]

Is the Credits Theme still open for taking? I've been dying to trying out some orchestral stuff since I got some cool new samples and this song seems perfect for that, so I'd love to get on board and help you guys finish up. Some of (http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/kmsz/Roar--O--Mighty-Vampire-Killer-) My Stuff (http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/flzp/Stars-of-Tears)

[prophetik]

NEW RECORD!!

i TOTALLY should, man. oh, btw, pm me regarding a boss battle of us for the project.

tensai, if you're in need of anything, i'll collab with you or help with anything.

[chrono26]

i TOTALLY should, man.

oh, i meant new record like you set a new record for most rejections. wasnt telling you to start from scratch. im sure its good if they keep saying resub.

[prophetik]

no, i mean i should make a record of my rejections and sell it, it'd get good monies.

boss battle = you vs. me on some song from the OST

i reworked that other thing, anyways, so that one's gonna pass soon.

[prophetik]

fyi - according to mazedude's website, he loves the super dodge ball soundtrack.

...

[Mae]

ORLY???


...is he still actively remixing?

[prophetik]

did you LOOK at his website?

[Mae]

No. I didn't. I don't know what it is (though...you'll probably tell me it's something incredibly easy and obvious like mazedude.com) and I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

[prophetik]

check thasauce, there's a link there

[Mae]

I think Walan is taking care of things on this one. My internet connection is currently taking about 5 minutes to load any page, so I'm unable to do very much beside refresh this. LOL

Thanks for the info, though!

[KyleJCrb]

ORLY???


...is he still actively remixing?

He's had 4 remixes post on OCR this year (http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/mazedude/?&offset=0&sort=datedesc).

Also: http://www.mazedudemusic.com/

[prophetik]

so, who's not doing remixes who should be? because, we're really missing a lot of people.

[Theory of N]

so, who's not doing remixes who should be? because, we're really missing a lot of people.

me.... >.>

[prophetik]

why aren't you mixing?

[Theory of N]

writer's block atm. I want to do Japan's theme but it's difficult to come up with something fitting to the country with that source. Actually, I should say, difficult to come up with something original and fitting to the country with that source. It's a folk tune and it's been arranged so many different ways. Does it REALLY matter what style it's in?

[avaris]

IMO just use some instruments that are native to that country and should get the point across.

I got tons of percussion and samples of japanese instruments. I mainly got flute and plucked styled sounds. If you arrange it I can throw my samples over it no problem. That way you can just concentrate on writing a strong arrangement.

[prophetik]

just do an arrangement and i'll tell you if it sucks.

[Murmeli Walan]

Holy crap I'm finally able to reply to the topic. I celebrate this with a month-old necrobump. Real updates soon.

[Murmeli Walan]

Ok, we're taking a little step back. The GLL/Mae collab fell through, so the Team England track is back up for grabs. If you're an awesome super sweet remixer and you love this track, drop me a line!

[Sadorf]

how about another small step back?

had no choice but to format, and im not starting from backups again

in fact, im not installing any of my music software again until i have a reliable new pc...which isnt gonna happen anytime soon

sorry bout that

cya

double post! seriously, I'm gonna do it and finish my other mix. wip coming soon.

[Murmeli Walan]

Well, I have no problem with this, so sadorf is out (sorry man!) and chrono26 is in. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Sadorf]

Since it was made for this project and cannot be finished, i got the go ahead to share the last demo i made with everyone.

http://epicgaming.us/sadorf/SDB/SDB_VersusPlayMix9.mp3

I didnt share this with many people while writing it, but now there isnt really a reason to keep it from anyone...and who doesnt love sharing music? :)

sorry once again for having to drop, but one day i will come back to this song, versus play kicks too much ass for me to just leave it be.

so uhmm, enjoy the song and whatnot
good luck chrono26!

cya later

awesome track man. i'll make sure to do it justice. cant wait to hear what you come up with the next time.

[Mae]

I guess signing in when I click the link in my email would have helped to have me get a more recent reply notification *cough*

31 hours/week of work + 8 hours/week commuting + 6 hours of class/week + eleventy-billion hours of City of Heroes = extreme laziness...Just so you all know how the equation works.

Anyway, as for the England track, it's up for grabs for anyone. I have some lyrics written for it if anyone would like to make it a lyrical track. (Vocals can be performed by anyone you choose - if you so choose)

And sadorf...you are SO getting a kick+ban next time I see you in the chatroom. ;) But you know it will only last for like 3 seconds or however long it takes for me to remove the ban...

[KyleJCrb]

Mustin stole the project! (http://www.vgfrequency.com/the-bad-dudes-announce-no-balls-no-glory-a-remix-project-based-on-technos-super-dodge-ball/)

phail! i guess me an chrono will never do our epic battle mix now.

[Liontamer]

Nah, y'all should finish things up! If anything, the strength of this album should illustrate that people should be going after this soundtrack. It's got a lot of potential.

[kaijin]

oh hey, looked like you guys needed some help with your project so we thought we'd be nice and finish it for you.

[avaris]

Except for the China Theme it's pretty awful. :)

[Dhsu]

It kind of is, but that didn't stop 3 different people from making pretty decent mixes of it.

Seriously though, in THREE years, you'd think that for each person they'd be able to make ONE song. My song has been done for almost three years, so what took so long?

The same thing happens with just about every "project" on OCR or otherwise. I've done this, the Dragon Warrior one, the Follin one, and a couple others off of this site that have just gone nowhere.

I applaud Mustin and folks for getting something completed, even though I may still be biased towards my own bean ball track.

It's pretty rough around the edges, and I probably used more compression on it than I should have for the style, but since this was three years ago and I've improved a bit since then, it's forgivable.

that's seriously the best title for a beanball remix by Ryan8bit ever

[Murmeli Walan]

So, I woke up this morning, visited OCR because I haven't in a while, and found out that the Bad Dudes released an SDB album. It feels like I'm in junior high gym class again, and I just took a dodge ball to the face.

I'm not mad or upset or angry or anything. I've known for years that Mustin was interested in arranging the SDB soundtrack, and it looks like he beat his procrastination sooner than I did. In fact, I'm pretty excited because he gathered together a great list of artists, including some who I tried to unsuccessfully recruit over the years. This is a must download for me later today.

As for Around the World...

I just can't take my dodge ball and go home on this one. Cancelling the project would be selfish of me and unfair to the people who worked on it. Hell, there are tracks that will be posted to OCR after the project's out, and that's way more than I could've hoped three years ago. I'm gonna mull over my options on this one and get back to you guys. But I think it's time for a project restart. Stuff that's being made now I WANT DONE. Stuff I have that hasn't been updated in years (I'm looking at you, Rexy) I WANT UPDATED. I'll post more thoughts on this later. For now, I'm gonna download the Kenya remix and get my zyko fix.

[Murmeli Walan]

May 21, 2008: So guess what? Looks like we got beat to the punch. Mustin and the Bad Dudes have put together their own SDB tribute album and released it recently. It's called "No Balls, No Glory" and you can download it over at www.noballsnoglory.net I just finished listening to the album, and I can easily say that it's one of my favorite fan remix albums to date. I'll have my personal review up later today. However, it leaves me with a big question: what do I do with Around the World? Mustin was able to get together some real big names in the game remix community for his album, including a few that I tried to recruit without success. Hell, he even found support from the team that's putting together the upcoming Super Dodge Ball Brawlers for the Nintendo DS. I'm sure I wouldn't be given the time of day if I tried contacting a company like that. So what do I do here? Do I tuck my tail between my legs and go crawling away? No, I just can't do that. I really have a deep love and appreciation for Super Dodge Ball and Sawa's soundtrack. For me to just cancel this project would be selfish to me and unfair to the artists that I did recruit. At the same time, however, I can't just sit here and ignore the album while it idles like it has for the past couple years. If anything, the No Balls, No Glory album has inspired me to march ahead and get this album finished. I have some big ideas floating around in my head now about how Around the World can possibly hang with the Bad Dudes album. But to do that, I need to take care of the project's loose ends that have be bothering me as of late.

Today, I'm ordering a restart of the Around the World project.

I have ideas in my mind for which artists to contact next, but I'm putting that on the back burner. The first thing that needs to be done is to deal with the languishing list of artists that either never sent me final versions of their tracks or updates to works in progress. I am setting a current remixer deadline for this coming Friday the 13th, June 13th. This is exactly three weeks from this Friday. This is what I want: if you are listed as Yes or No on the track listing above, then I want an updated WIP. If you are listed as DONE, then I want a FINAL VERSION of the track sent to me in an uncompressed .wav format. ANYONE ON THE LIST WHO FAILS TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS BY JUNE 13TH WILL BE BOOTED FROM THE PROJECT. After the Friday the 13th deadline, when we'll concentrate on filling in the remaining track list slots.

ONCE AGAIN, THE DEADLINE TO TURN IN EITHER A FINAL UNCOMPRESSED .WAV OF YOUR TRACK OR AN UPDATED WIP IS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH, THREE WEEKS FROM THIS FRIDAY. ANYONE WHO FAILS TO MEET THIS DEADLINE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE ALBUM.

I will personally try to get into contact with all of my artists about the deadline. I know that some of you who finished their songs a long time ago may not have those project files around anymore, we'll discuss this soon. For now, I want this project to start moving again.

Edit: holy crap, I just realized that the Around the World project is so old, they were talking about it on VGDJ. And I mean the Aurora/Rayza VGDJ, too. :P

[prophetik]

do i need to resubmit a copy of this to you?

[Murmeli Walan]

Well, I know that you had your computer crash a while back, and you probably don't have the project files from your remix. Just send me the highest quality version of the Kenya mix that you have. The important thing here is that the file you send me is the absolute final version of the remix, and there won't be any more changes to it.

[prophetik]

i redid the whole mix, and i've got the files, which is the cut that got accepted by the panel. i've got that cut around here somewhere.

[Murmeli Walan]

So the mix that you just PM'd me is the cut that the panel accepted? If so, then excellent. You're taken care of on this mix, then.

[prophetik]

lol, it got accepted ages ago. i did the whole thing, and then zircon mastered it for me because that was the original reason for the rejection.

[Theory of N]

Awesome. I'm kinda excited about this. I want to be on this project but seeing that the only track left was China's theme...I would be like "alright, let's do this." Listen to the track a few times, fiddle around in FL, and...

nothing. It sucks. I hate that song.

[avaris]

There are 4 tracks open? Japan, England, India, and Ending/Credits.

My offer still stands if anyone wants to arrange a track I will do all of the instrumentation, beats, and mastering.

[chrono26]

i promised that i would have my tracks done very soon after i got my new computer running. but there's been some problems with that....prophet can attest.

[prophetik]

TONIGHT TONIGHT we'll have it working. i PROMISE.

fricking windows won't authenticate properly and dumped his installation key. i'll talk him through it tonight and he'll be mixing soon.

[Murmeli Walan]

So yeah, one week left. And how many people have checked in with me? Two, three? It's not pretty.

[avaris]

I'm in the process of moving. My roomate had surgery so basically I have to move everything. I'll also have to reload a bunch of old software to open up the project file. Expect my Wav sometime next week.

[Murmeli Walan]

Awesome. Good to hear. (The .wav submission, I mean. Not your roommate getting surgery.)

[Ryan8bit]

It's been so long, but didn't I send you a .wav of my file years ago? I can probably send it again if need be...

[Murmeli Walan]

Nah, I'm pretty sure I didn't get a wav from you. I can only see the mp3 version in my project files.


So yeah, real life's being a real bitch to me as of late...again...but I'll still make sure this moves along in a more timely manner from now on.

[The Coop]

With four tracks unclaimed, and three possibly in limbo, perhaps you should see about either making a short lived new thread, or moving this one, to Community to do some re-pimping of this. Might stir up some new talent to help put those last four - seven tunes to bed.

[Mae]

Hey all. This is mostly a bump, but it's also a quick little update for anyone keeping track of this project - but not necessarily checking out the judging forum.

We have two tracks that have already been accepted for posting on OCR after this project gets finished up:

Avaris - Super Dodge Ball 'Breakbeat Market' *PROJECT*
The Prophet of Mephisto - Super Dodge Ball 'Rockin the Yard' *PROJECT*

I'll take this moment to extend a very warm "nice work" :nicework: to Avaris and The Prophet of Mephisto for their excellent tracks. I'd also like to encourage the other remixers with finished tracks to submit (or resubmit if that is the case). There is some amazing talent already on the project.

If there's anyone still watching this thread who hasn't offered to help out - now's the time. We still have a few openings, and any additional talent will be very welcome.

[prophetik]

first non-collab accepted mix in 14 tries! YES!

of course, zircon helped majorly with mastering, but still...

[Murmeli Walan]

This woman speaks the truth. I'm very proud of the both of you, and I can't wait for the day that those tracks are posted on the front page.

But we still have to finish the project before that can happen, so let's get things moving! I encourage anyone who's interested to make a post here or sending Mae and myself a PM.

You've gotta canvas the community, homie, and stay on people. Dry hump, even.

[Mae]

I'll leave the humping to Walan...

[prophetik]

pity.

i think pokemon's going to do a 'moar mixerz' thread, so i would think that it's ok for this project to do the same. or, at least get it moved back to where it was before it came to the black hole that is projects forum.

[The Coop]

I agree with Prophet. See if making a thread in Community, or at the very least, getting this thread transported back to Community for a little while, is doable. There aren't as many songs left as the Dragon Warrior project, but there are enough to warrant some advertising to try and draw in some more talent.

I'd suggest sending out a mass of PMs to various remixers, but that could be potentially pretty time consuming to try and dig through the names you haven't already tried... even with the new PM setup. Though if you had some new people in mind, perhaps sending them a PM on top of the advertising in Community might not be a bad idea.

[Theory of N]

I call England :3

Got some pretty rad ideas. Hopefully I can pull them off.

[Mae]

Theory of Nonexistence: If you come up with some sort of WIP, go ahead and shoot it on over to Walan or myself. We'll love to hear it!


In the mean time, I decided to go ahead and give the community forum a shot. I wasn't exactly sure how to go about starting the thread (what should it say? Should it be exactly like the first post for this thread? etc) so....I just typed and hit submit.

Anyway, drop on by over here: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=437361#post437361

It's been three months. I have yet to hear any radicalness from you.

WASSUPWITDAT?

[Dafydd]

My, this still isn't finished?

[Murmeli Walan]

*shrugs*

I started this project when I started college. At the time, I had no idea of just how much of my time college would eat up. I refuse to just cancel it because that would be insulting to the people who donated their time to the project.

[Dafydd]

I feel the same way about... projects I've started myself not knowing how much time would spent/wasted on it. I'm not saying you should give up on it at all, I was just surprised to see that so little progress had been made since last time I considered helping out. And like then, lack of time is all that holds me back. That and the general experience I have of projects, started by me or by others, being a lot less positive than I would wish.

I didn't notice the disclaimer in the first post until now. Too bad these people didn't help you out instead. I don't know if they joined Mustin's project because they were his friends or because Mustin's sort of a celebrity when it comes to these things, but it still sucks they turned you down and not him. For shame, as they say.

EDIT: Haha, Kazuo Sawa also made the music for Nintendo World Cup. I thought I recognized the style. NWC's soundtrack sounds more professional though, I think, and it was made later too, so I guess that's why.

[Murmeli Walan]

Good news, everyone! Txai has sent me his first WIP of Team India, and he is now on the project! Just three more tracks are left for the taking on the album! We're actually getting really close now...

[Dafydd]

Gave the England track a listen and couldn't think of what to make of it, then I listened to "maybe we should stick to football"... and I guess that's pretty much as good as it gets. The drums are a little too obviously fake, but other than that...

[Theory of N]

yeah...about the...lack of radicalness. At the time of that post, I was working on it. It sounded great. I failed at saving. My comp crashed. I tried to recreate it. It wasn't working. I lost motivation. Now I'm in college and most of my time is devoted to class and practicing my sax and piano. Sorry...if I get some free time in the near future, I'll attempt it again

[Dafydd]

This is for Txai - in case he needs some inspiration, or an idea of how he does NOT want his remix to sound. www.ngst.nu/TeamIndia.mp3

I DID IT FOR THE FAME.

NBNG wasn't created to usurp the OCR project. Also, I only join projects if I know the people running them. I know Mustin (so do the rest of the guys who did NBNG). I don't know Walan or Mae.

That's not to say I don't like Walan or Mae, or I think Walan and Mae are lame, or I don't respect Walan or Mae. I just don't know them.

Looking forward to hearing the finished product guys. You're super close.

[Dafydd]

As I suspected, then.

Of course, if someone famous decided to start a Megaman 4 remix project I wouldn't shed a tear.

[Murmeli Walan]

For shame, as they say.

Ok, I feel like I should address this now before it gets out of hand. I had actually forgotten what I said when I made that disclaimer last May. Reading it now, it feels a little...bitter. I just want to say right now that I have a ton of respect for Mustin and the people who worked on NBNG. I have that album burned to a CD that's in my car right now. Despite a few comments and jokes that I've made in the past, I'm not upset at the Bad Dudes at all for "stealing my thunder", as it were. In fact, back when I first had the idea for AtW, I asked Mustin if he would be interested, to which he told me that he was throwing ideas around for an SDB album of his own. He had thought up his SDB album independently of mine. We both just love that soundtrack and decided that albums should be made as a tribute to the music. It's not like NBNG threw me off guard or anything, I was half expecting it to come out for years.

Again, I just want everyone to know that I'm not sitting here at my desk QQing about how how some big bad Internet celebrity stole my album idea, kicked sand in my face, screwed my girlfriend, and teabagged my mother.

[Dafydd]

Mustin teabagged your mother? What an asshole. I mean, talk about rubbing it in.
I'm joking, by the way.

[Murmeli Walan]

Mustin teabagged your mother? What an asshole. I mean, talk about rubbing it in.
I'm joking, by the way.

And by "it", you mean Mustin's balls. In my mother's face. With rubbing.

[Dafydd]

Actually, no... that would have been "them". By "it" I mean the pain he caused you by stealing all of the attention from this project of yours.

[KyleJCrb]

It doesn't matter in the end, because Mustin's opinions as of late have been ridiculous.

[Murmeli Walan]

Be careful with that joke, Kyle. It's an antique.

[KyleJCrb]

Walan, Czech yer PMs.

[Murmeli Walan]

1/30/09 Update: Okay...minor setback. avaris and The Prophet have pulled their tracks from the project. I thank them both greatly for their interest in AtW, and I hope their tracks get posted on the front page soon. :)

As for us, I'm on the verge of making a big announcement that will ensure that AtW will be finished in 2009. More info to come soon, depending.

[Mae]

OH! OH! Let me guess! You're getting rid of n00bs and getting l33t people?

<_<


*Hides with the n00bs*

[Murmeli Walan]

3/7/09: Remember two months ago when I mentioned something about a big announcement? Sit tight, it's coming Real Soon Now(tm).

In other probably-not-related-but-could-be news, congratulations to KyleJCRB for releasing Summoning of Spirits!

[Murmeli Walan]

This is NOT the major announcement. This is what searching SDB on YouTube gets me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2P2CadYTug

Yes, I know about Team USSR being a Russian folk tune. But this song has SDB sound effects in it, so I think that counts as something. Also, AkumajoBelmont's mix is much better than this.

[KyleJCrb]

By the way: http://kngi.org/atw/OST/

[Murmeli Walan]

3/15/09: Now for the announcement that I've been teasing at: let's give a big welcome to the new coordinator for Around the World, fresh off the release of Summoning of Spirits: KyleJCrb! Kyle will be handling contacting remixers and filling up the last positions on the soundtrack, so please refer to him for anyone who is interested in filling up the remaining slots on the album. Also, AtW forums will be up soon at http://kngi.org/forum/index.php. Welcome again, Kyle!

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, I'm already crackin' on this stuff, so I'll be talking to some of you guys soon. The forums are already up, so go ahead and register if you're a remixer for the project, I'll give you access to the private area for ATW. Thanks for letting me conduct a hostile takeove-I mean, help out with this, Walan.

[Mae]

Oh maaaaaaan, KyleJCrb? What a n00b! I don't even like that guy, why do we have to work with hiiiiiiiiim?

Actually, I'm predicting a ton of OMFG GUITAAAAAAARRRRRZZZ to be included in the project soon.

You might be surprised.

As much of a fan of OMFG GUITAAAAAARRRRZZZZZ that I am, I hope to hell not. It would kinda go against the idea of ethical music if every track had a screeching guitar solo.

[KyleJCrb]

Dude, guitar is the instrument of the world!

I agree - guitar shreddery is amoral, wrong, and just plain bad behaviour.

If guitar wankery is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!

I meant "Ethnic", not "ethical". If you'll excuse me, I've gotta go find some burn cream.

3/17/09: A number of track updates to report on today. Protricity has been confirmed to take Team India. Sixto Sounds will cover both Team Shadow and Versus Play (chrono26 is still taking those tracks as well. We'll have two versions of both those songs on the final album.) Rexy is taking another look at her Iceland track (she originally finished it in 2006) and is going to change/update the arrangement. Finally, Fishy is offering his services for "guitar wankery" if artists are interested. More developments to come soon.

[evktalo]

So the proverbial ball is rolling. Great news!

I know I am not well known around here but I would like to give this project my contribution, I can try to remix the japan theme, if that is ok with the organizers.

I don't have an ocremix yet but I have done work for PRC. I will start to try some ideas this weekend so I can have a WIP.

Sorry about the bad english :)

[KyleJCrb]

Hey Ralf, sounds good! I've heard some of your work for PRC before and it's pretty good stuff. If you would please go ahead and sign up for the forums at http://www.kngi.org/forum/ and I'll give you access to the ATW WIP section.

[Murmeli Walan]

Sounds great. You know, Andy Jayne was only an artist from PRC when he joined the project. I've got no problem at all with showcasing new remixers in the project. Put a wip together, and let's see what you can do. :)

[pu_freak]

Hmmm... I might be mixing a track from this aswell. If I can find something nice :P

[Murmeli Walan]

3/21/09: Another track update: OA is covering Team England. There are a few remixers out there with "potential interest", so we'll see if anything develops.

[KyleJCrb]

Don't forget Showroom Dummy on Team Japan.

[Murmeli Walan]

Don't forget Showroom Dummy on Team Japan.

Of course, of course. My mistake.

[pu_freak]

I'll take a shot at the Title Theme

If I recall correctly, my track was actually only slightly different to the version I did for PRC back in the day.

[Murmeli Walan]

3/25/09: Showroom Dummy is trying his hand at Team Japan, and pu_freak is tackling the Title Screen. Three tracks still unclaimed!

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, since things are moving forward and progression in happening nicely with this project, Walan and I have decided to set up a WIP due date. This date will be:

April 18th, 2009

If you have not given a WIP to myself or Walan already, or if it has been an extended amount of time since your last one, I will be contacting you. If you are looking feedback on your work, you can register at http://kngi.org/forum/, and I will grant you access to the private ATW sections where other musicians and the directors from the project can offer critique and advice.

[Murmeli Walan]

3/25/09 (OMG AGAIN?): The band 8 Bit Instrumental (www.myspace.com/8bitvgm) is taking the Ending/Credits theme! This track has never been claimed before! Just two left!

[pu_freak]

Not sure if I'm going to make that deadline... I'm going on a study tour next week and won't be back untill the 22nd (I'll finally visit the US). So unless I can whop up something this weekend, I won't be making any WIPs untill the end of April.

[KyleJCrb]

Understandable. So long as people let us know of their pre-existing obligations, we can work with them on it.

By the way, happy birthday Walan!

[Showroom Dummy]

Greetings

I won't be able to post WIP as soon as I thought but I will surely bring one up before the deadline that proposed. As some people who know me from PRC I tend to dissappear due to schedule in work.

Just so you know if you don't find me for a few days, I am not leaving the project I am just out of town :).

Keep up the great work so far and pardon the bad english :).

[KyleJCrb]

You write better English than most people on the internet, so don't worry about it, SD.

News is a little slow right now, but I'm hoping we can get China and/or Kenya filled here shortly!

[Arcana]

Did someone claim the China track already, Kyle? It was removed from the Download directory.

[KyleJCrb]

It's tentative, but I can give a 90% yes on that. No reason why you couldn't take it on as well though, if you're interested. Just send me a WIP, yo.

[Arcana]

I might take a shot at it, but don't put me down unless I send you a WIP. My skills are really really rusty.

[KyleJCrb]

Dj Mokram has picked up Team China.

[Murmeli Walan]

3/31/09: Newcomer DJ Mokram is taking Team China. Holy crap, only Team Kenya is unclaimed?!

...yeah, what Kyle said.

[KyleJCrb]

Since progress is coming along nicely, I've decided to release a preview of the upcoming songs you'll hear on the Around the World project. Enjoy! (tinyurl.com/atwpreview)

[KyleJCrb]

DCT has taken Team Kenya. All tracks have officially claimed!

On another note, the guys at 8-Bit Instrumental are looking for MIDIs of the Ending and Credits themes. Both me and them have searched all over and can't seem to dig up any, so is there anyone out there who might be willing to transcribe these tracks to MIDI? I went the NSF2MIDI route, but obviously those sound pretty awful, so something better would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[Murmeli Walan]

4/5/09: DCT has taken Team Kenya! You what that means? Every track on the album has been claimed! This has never, ever happened before in this way-too-long history of this album! Congratulations to everybody! First WIP deadline on the 18th!

[Murmeli Walan]

4/12/09: Kyle's podcast, Nitro Game Injection, has returned! Head on over to KNGI.org (http://kngi.org/2009/04/12/nitro-game-injection-113-revenge-of-the-podcast/) and hear Kyle and Larry Oji speak about AtW!

[KyleJCrb]

WIPs due tomorrow! Where do folks stand currently?

[prophetik]

lol. avaris and i leave, and immediately this project gets back off the ground.

if dct falls through, and this project actually looks like it'll happen, let me know and i might be convinced to rejoin my track with the project. just to boost the drama.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, I thought about PMing you guys to get back on board, but the tracklist actually filled surprisingly fast. I figured if you guys did get interested again, you'd come back. :-P

However, we won't turn away multiple remixes of the same song. So if you want to jump back in, by all means please do.

[prophetik]

you might not mind it, but i don't want to be compared, particularly on a smaller remix project. if he drops, i'm in - else, it's his ballgame.

i'd think shaun is on the same boat, but you should ask him.

[KyleJCrb]

It's your call, but the entire project already has comparison competition in this (http://www.noballsnoglory.net/), so what's it matter?

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, the WIP due date has past! I'm pretty happy with the turnout actually: Even though I didn't get something from everyone, things are looking to be progressing along well. For those who sent me tracks, I'll be looking into the WIPs and giving you feedback soon, and they will be posted over at the forums (or you can do it yourself) for other project remixers to give feedback on.

For those who didn't send anything yet, I'll be talking to you soon.
